[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do adults in middle ages have the kind of friendship you are looking for? It sounds like college/early adult friendship or maybe retiree/widow friendship when people have A LOT of time and mental space.

At some point in your life, you need to be able to make decisions and emotionally process things on your own without having to run it by someone else. Maybe that time is now. [/quote]

OP. This is a good question. I've had these kinds of friendships continuously up until now. Actually, when I started having babies, it looked like a lot of moms were looking for regular connections and I knew multiple very close mom duos or small groups that hung out and talked all the time. I was part of one :) But ever since moving, I just haven't been able to find it. Maybe as kids get older people aren't interested in the same way we were as new moms?

And I think I'm pretty competent in my life, just lonely. I think some people just enjoy having a close connection - someone to hang out with every week or two and text in between the get-togethers. I don't think it's a sign of weakness or neediness. [/quote]
